"kurutte masu!"

Tokyo Tower Wax Museum. 3rd floor. “No pictures please,” the sign up front says but the place is closing soon and security is a non-issue. Tomo once warned me the place was run by a rich music nerd. Time to whip out the broken Kodak and snap a few off…

This is Elvis, probably sculpted by a person who’d never actually seen The King before. Looks more like Nicolas Cage after a binge to me.

It's more like Martin Sheen playing me. His suit isn't bad at all, but I wonder about the tie. Looks like James Dean, Thomas Edison, and Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra are stuck there in the case with Mifune. Did at any point you find yourself saying, "...Good Lord! This isn't wax! This is a HUMAN hand!"

That's Robert Fripp? It looks more like one of my Profs at LA Valley College than the Frippmeister. At least they could have sprung for a nice big Nabeshin-style 'fro wig so he could have looked like he did around 1968 or so. Then again they really skimped on Hendrix's hair.

"Holy shit" I can't tell who any of these waxies are? Where is this at!!! ha, ha, ha, Did you pay to get in this place? If you did tell me how much & I will pay you back, I love Elvis, are you sure that's who it is? It's a great laugh.
